Pros

The engineers I worked with were great, they were the one good thing about ClearRoute

Cons

All the company cares about is image, they're desperately trying to inflate their Glassdoor reviews. The culture is very much a boys club, full hustle culture and grind mentality. No real focus or effort on diversity or work life balance. Everyone I know who still works there is actively looking for other jobs.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're glad the engineering team made a positive impression, that reflects the calibre of people we've worked hard to hire. We take the other points seriously and want to address them directly. We don't recognise the culture described here. ClearRoute is a small, close-knit team and we're genuinely invested in how people experience working here, that includes flexibility, balance and creating an environment where different people can thrive. On diversity specifically, it's something we're actively working on, not something we consider resolved. We know there's more to do and we'd welcome the opportunity to hear more. If you're open to it, please reach out to us directly, we'd rather have that conversation than leave concerns unaddressed.

Pros

hybrid working and colleagues are great people. Regular socials are nice

Cons

The CEO has recently been asking people in forums to post good reviews here and has recently posted one himself which is, frankly, quite sad. Not only is this quite a glaring red flag, but ignoring valid concerns raised by employees seems to be ClearRoute's strategy for dealing with feedback. I would take the overly positive 5 star reviews here with some skepticism. Most projects are run chaotically with very little regard for delivery teams, as ClearRoute might not always back you up on a client engagement. Feedback and concerns are usually ignored until things get messy. The team morale across most projects seems to be at rock bottom and a lot of colleagues suffer from burnout. The company has also pivoted hard into AI, and that has come with an identity crisis. The extent to which the leadership has feverishly boarded the AI bandwagon is a bit disconcerting, with some senior figures even discouraging juniors from learning programming and telling them to stick to vibe coding. A lot of colleagues have been lowballed and, despite being overperformers, are not compensated at their worth. Pay rises are pretty much handed down with no room for negotiation. So, my advice would be to negotiate hard if you do wish to join. Leadership has also hinted they might discontinue profit share.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're glad the engineering team made a positive impression, that reflects the calibre of people we've worked hard to hire. We take the other points seriously and want to address them directly. We don't recognise the culture described here. ClearRoute is a small, close-knit team and we're genuinely invested in how people experience working here and that includes flexibility, balance and creating an environment where different people can thrive. Regarding Glassdoor reviews, the CEO did ask people to provide fair and holistic reviews, not good reviews, but honest and authentic as we are growing so fast and are looking for the best talent. Addressing the delivery and project management points, we're a consulting business and client engagements are rarely frictionless. We'd be the first to admit we don't always get it right. But backing our people on client engagements is something we care about deeply, and if that wasn't someone's experience, that's a conversation we genuinely want to have. On AI, yes, we've leaned hard into it, and we make no apology for that. The technology is transforming how software is built and delivered, and we'd be doing our clients and our people a disservice by pretending otherwise. But the suggestion that we discourage learning fundamentals in favour of vibe coding is simply not accurate. We believe strong engineers make better AI-augmented engineers, not the other way round. We'd welcome the opportunity to hear more. If you're open to it, please reach out to us directly, we'd rather have that conversation than leave concerns unaddressed.

Pros

Great engineers to work with and learn from. Office is enjoyable. Good socials and activities.

Cons

Engineers are setup to burnout on projects. Employees raise challenges constantly but they are often brushed aside. There's no clear progression and opportunities to develop are limited.

Thank you, we're really glad the people, office and culture come through positively, that means a lot. The harder points here are ones we take seriously. If you're open to it, we'd genuinely welcome a direct conversation, there's more we can do with specifics than with a general commitment to improve.
